Tech Talk Thursday is a series of videos that will enlighten the inner self with useful knowledge about ski construction and the theory's in design.
Indulge on the finer details of how a turn radius effects the way your skis ski. This is a tool all manufacturers list as a performance contribution to how one ski will differ from another. One point missed in this presentation is how a turn radius is calculated. Its the distance a ski requires to make a half circle when pressure is applied evenly along one edge. 25M radius = roughly 75 wide turn.
